I’m from northeast Ohio (Akron). That’s actually almost Canada. Canada is right across the lake from Cleveland, Ohio, 30 miles north. We used to buy maple sugar candy in some places. There was a festival. 😀 — Suzanne

It’s been over 9 years since I’ve been there (southeastern Ontario). We used to go on school trips to sugar bushes to watch how maple syrup was made. And then there were pancakes. It must be quite a change for you.

Unless you’re been to India, Steven, you can’t imagine how different it is from Ohio, or any part of the U.S. for that matter. Some visitors suffer culture shock. After about fifteen years, I’m used to it by now. We live in Pune, which is a big city. A lot of people speak either good English or at least some English. That’s great because I’m a total failure at learning the languages (Hindi and Marathi). 🙂 — Suzanne
